Maxx Wilson
Jesse Wilson developed core robotics infrastructure for the VEXU_GHOST repository, focusing on ROS 2-based robot plugin ecosystems, advanced hardware integration, and motion planning. He implemented features such as PID-based motion control, Bezier and pure pursuit path generation, and robust sensor integration using C++ and Python. His work included refactoring packages for clearer experimentation, enhancing build and setup workflows with CMake, and introducing safety-focused control systems like current limiting for motor protection. By consolidating competition-driven improvements and streamlining configuration management, Jesse enabled more reliable autonomous routines, faster iteration cycles, and improved developer onboarding, demonstrating depth in embedded systems and robotics software architecture.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for VEXU_GHOST: Implemented PID-based Motion Control and Path Planning with new libraries for PID control and path generation (Bezier curves and pure pursuit). Updated particle filter configuration and ROS node parameters to support the new motion planning stack. Completed a post-worlds refactor to simplify integration and align with upcoming features. No major bugs reported this month; ongoing validation and performance tuning are in progress.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 – VEXU_GHOST: Consolidated improvements from the 2025 Texas VEXU Regional into the production stack, delivering competition-driven robot control enhancements and autonomous routine upgrades. Introduced a neutral stake mechanism control system with current limiting and arm control, and added libraries for current limiting calculations. Bug fixes from the regional improvements were applied to stabilize control loops and autonomous routines. Technologies demonstrated include real-time embedded control, motor current limiting, and safety-focused hardware integration. Business impact: more reliable autonomous performance, safer motor operation under load, faster iteration cycles, and improved scoring potential in upcoming events.
